The Story | From Jerusalem to Babylon: A Message of Hope

Speaker: Vince Medrano

The human heart, like a compass often points away from God, leading to a cycle of disobedience and suffering. Despite this, God's love and guidance persist, reaching us even in our darkest moments and imperfect situations. The exiled Israelites are instructed to build homes and pray for the prosperity of Babylon, despite its conquest of their land. This message challenges their expectations and warns against false prophets promising immediate deliverance. The certainty of their eventual return to Jerusalem provides hope, encouraging them to live with purpose and faith in God’s promises. The compass of their hearts are to be recalibrated toward the hope their future city and no longer toward Babylon.
